BEHIND THE SCENE OF THE EXTREME MAKEOVER

MISSION

To RELOCATE an office to another location

work began 18 Dec ,2009....to finish by 31 Dec 2009.....(mission impossible!)
last reno : 10 years ago (??)

The RENOVATION works includes:

installation of wallpapers
construction of new meeting tables
upgrade existing cabinet doors by installing mica
varnishing & changing fabric on notice board
projector screens , electrical works , eubiq power extensions on meeting tables

DAY ONE
Our mission for the extreme makeover of an office began with the demolition / dismantling process. Heavy furniture transported....existing ceiling removed....gypsum wall sawed through....I'll let the photos do the talking lah...
DAY 2
Site clearance done....ready for the plaster ceiling works.
DAY 3
Haaa...ceiling at small office done....now can install the downlights. Meeting room ceiling work continues....In the meantime ,wallpaper selected for the small office..

DAY 4
Plaster ceiling done.....a/cond ducts , smoke detectors, speakers reinstalled.


DAY 5 & 6
Wallpaper installation....glad to have my "Besut" team this time around...they are the ones who installed the wallpapers in MB's house & other big govt projects...together with painting the ceiling by a professional painter from Kuantan...not a drop of paint on the walls, okey....!

DAY 7
After a week break due to the year end holidays , our work resumed (we even worked on new year's day 2010, mind you!) with the installation of laminated wood flooring and finishing touches for the small office.
DAY 8
Laminated wood flooring installation in the meeting room continues....however , halfway through our client decided to add subfloor cable for a new projector (or did they overlook this before we start work??) Grrrrr...anyway.....
DAY 9 & 10

Folding door panels finally installed......meeting tables assembled.....varnishing work began.....gruelling to the max!

DAY 11
Phew....all 'dirty' jobs done!

The weekend we decided to add a service manhole in the ceiling due to the extensive cabling works that run above the ceiling....all for the clients ease of future maintenance...

We also reupholster the notice board...from red to black....you notice?
DAY 12

The meeting room is coming together now.....frames, clocks hung & books /accessories arranged in the cabinets. Time to re-install the old projector...only when we find the cable somewhere above the ceiling...oops...there they are...!Client wanted to add more things on the table??? Oh tidakkk...no more drilling holes in our tables plizzzz....hope we can achieve a much neater meeting table by using the built in power extensions.....we trylah ya....see if our design idea works....
DAY 13

Installation of eubiq power extension on the meeting tables. check out www.eubiq.com
for more details on this product.


DAY 14

Lastly,after another week or so, the installation of projector screens......finally all listed jobs completed!



The final step is furniture & accessories arrangement....of course some repair work here & there..........until the client is fully satisfied.....errrrrr is that possible??? DREAM ON lah kak juli....we're NOT perfect....but after all these extreme daunting episodes, a thank u note from a client would be nice...kannnn?


The jobs were completed in 14 non-consecutive days within 5 weeks time span.

Looking at these pics I'm glad all of our works are captured visually....and regardless of all glitches along the way, ALHAMDULILLAH for another mission accomplished.

We wish thank our client for the opportunity and let's just pray that the newly renovated rooms are maintained well for another 10 years....





Note to client: Don't forget to feed the plants ya boss....thank you.
